Getting My Ex-wife Back

The next day, Scarlette’s wedding started splendidly. She and Hadrian came out from their residence and headed for Waverly Village.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

They had bought a house there, and before going there, they had to go to the local church for their ceremony to exchange their marriage vows.

The whole wedding process seemed to be quite simple, but was also solemn. They had invited all the villagers. Lamar and Jazelle were the groom’s witnesses whereas the bride’s wedding witnesses were Hansen and Jenna. It was a great surprise to see that even Stuart attended the wedding.

Scarlette was so thrilled that she drank a lot at the end of the wedding ceremony. Hadrian tried to stop her several times, but to no avail

He had no choice but to carry away forcefully.

After they left, two others came to the door.

Jepherson, Zorion and the others were eating, and so were Hansen and Rayan. They put their enmity aside for the time being. Even though Rayan’s daughter was with Jacky, it was Scarlette’s wedding. Since Scarlette had invited them, he didn’t lose his temper.

“Sorry we’re late.” Deanna walked in and looked around. When she saw Raeleigh and the others on the other side, she took the initiative to greet them. She walked next to Jacky, her belly so huge she looked as if she would be giving birth soon.  As they turned up, they became the center of attraction. Everyone around started gaping at them.

Deanna had been in a dilemma as to whether she should come. It was only until the wedding had come to an end that she made up her mind to attend it. It was a good thing that Jacky hadn’t gone anywhere. Although he had promised Scarlette he’d be the groomsman, he had told Hadrian earlier that he may not come.

Indeed, he did not make an appearance.

Hannah wanted to stand right up in excitement at the sight of her daughter. She was so exhilarated that she couldn’t say a single word. However, Rayan, who was sitting next to her, immediately held her hand and forced her to sit down which was why she remained seated.

This did not go unnoticed by Jacky. When he saw Rayan and Hannah, he took Deanna’s hand and walked over. He couldn’t care less about how he managed to get Deanna over to the village, nor could he be any less concerned about the animosity between him and Rayan. Undeniably, Deanna was Rayan’s daughter. He couldn’t forgo the relationship between them.

Deanna held her belly with one hand while Jacky took the other – a heartbreaking sight for Hannah. After all, Deanna was her daughter. Dressed in plain clothing, Deanna was wearing a pair of ordinary black maternity shorts, a white sweater and Jacky’s wide cotton-padded jacket.

Seeing that she had shown up at a wedding ceremony like this, Hannah felt like her heart was bleeding profusely on the inside of her chest.

Although this was an outfit she had prepared for her daughter, Deanna had worn them for a long time. How could Hannah feel good about this?

Zorion also looked at his parents. It wasn’t until Jacky brought Deanna over that Zorion stood up and walked over to Rayan. Rossie was there as well that day, but she didn’t go over to Rayan. Since he didn’t like her, there was no need to make an appearance. Why should she go over and make others, including herself, uncomfortable?

“Mom, Dad.” Deanna hadn’t expected to see her parents here, so she was a little surprised when she saw them.

Hannah didn’t get up nor did she reply. It was not that she did not want to do it, but her husband was gripping her hand so tightly that she wasn’t able to do anything. One was her daughter while the other was her husband. She couldn’t take sides.

Whatever it was, she believed that her husband was right. He would not hurt his own child.

Hannah was quiet, and so was Rayan. Deanna wondered if they were truly upset.

“Dad.” Deanna walked over to Rayan, who pulled a long face. “I don’t have a daughter like you. Since you’re already with someone else, I’ll consider myself a daughterless man.”

As soon as Rayan said that, tears began to stream down Deanna’s cheeks uncontrollably.

She looked down at her belly and then at Jacky. “What should we do?”

“Don’t cry.” Jacky raised his hand to wipe away her tears before he looked at Rayan and Hannah. “I tricked Deanna into coming to Waverly Village. She didn’t want to come, but what’s done is done. It’s my fault, and it has nothing to do with her. I hope you can forgive her.”

“Are you saying that I can take my daughter back, and that you won’t contact her ever again?” Rayan wore a somber expression, which Deanna had never seen before. For a moment, she was a little scared. She held onto Jacky’s hand tightly. She was afraid that he would say something along the lines of breaking up.

She didn’t want to be estranged from her parents to such an extent, but she didn’t want to be separated from Jacky either. Her tears welled up anxiously in her eyes.

Jacky hugged Deanna and wiped her tears one after the other, but she wouldn’t stop crying.

She didn’t understand why it was so difficult to love someone.

Hannah couldn’t hold it in anymore. She asked, “Deanna, will you go back with me?”

Deanna sobbed while Jacky looked at Hannah. “Mom…”

“She is not your mother, and I won’t acknowledge you either.”

Rayan stood up and took Hannah’s hand. “Enough. Let’s go.”

Rayan strode away with Hannah as the latter kept looking back at her daughter, only to find that Deanna didn’t follow them out.

Hannah got into the car and threw herself into Rayan’s arms, crying her heart out. Rayan did not want to stay a moment longer. He ordered the chauffeur to drive and they immediately left Waverly Village.

Hannah wept the entire journey while Rayan sat in silence.

Since Rayan and Hannah had already left,  Zorion, as their son, couldn’t stay either. He pulled Rossie aside and headed out. He didn’t stay despite Deanna calling after him.

When they were outside, Rossie looked at Zorion and let out a sigh. He clearly wanted to stay, but he couldn’t do so because of his parents. First, it was because of her, then it was because of his parents. How was he going to get through this?

Would he forever be tormented by feelings of guilt each day?

She had originally planned to study abroad, but how could she leave, knowing that things would be left like this?

When they reached the car, she tugged at Zorion. He stopped and turned to look at her, a look of bewilderment and bad mood painted across his face. “What is it?”

“I can’t leave. I have to stay and take care of Logan.” Rossie didn’t have any other choice. Zorion would see through her lies if she used other excuses. He was a little clueless only when it came to Logan.

People would always panic when something happened to their loved ones.

Zorion’s face fell when he heard Logan’s name. He asked Rossie sternly, “You’re still worried about him?”

“We’re the reason why he’s like this. Since I know about it, I can’t just sit idly by and ignore it. When you were sick some time ago, I couldn’t bear to leave you alone either. I’m relieved that you’re fine now, but Logan still can’t stand up. You’ve seen it too. He still has to rely on the wheelchair to move about and he can’t even leave the house. I want to stay and take care of him.”

“You want to take care of him, but what about me?”

Zorion’s expression darkened, and there was a fierce look in his eyes. His parents blamed him, and Deanna had left the family. Was she going to leave him too?

Rossie thought about it. “You can come and visit me anytime. Anytime you want.”

Hearing that caught Zorion slightly off guard. But he was a smart man. It didn’t take long for him to realize that she actually wanted to stay for him!
